This option joins any stroke with an end near the actual stroke. Now it is not limited to the last stroke, any stroke in the same layer for the actual frame can be joined. The join can join two strokes drawing a third stroke.
If the end and the start of the result stroke are very small, the stroke is changed to be cyclic automatically.
There is a limit distance to join the stroke, if the distance is greater than this value, the strokes are not joined. Actually, a constant, threshold distance is used, but we could expose
as a parameter in the UI in the future.
The tool can be used with freehand drawing or with primitives.
Note: Great part of the patch is just a refactor of the old code to make it accessible and to keep code organized.

This patch is the result of the GSoC 2020 "Editing Grease Pencil Strokes

allows for the transformation of greasepencil strokes using bezier

Previously Bake Action would do two things:
- Bake the Action
- Clean up the FCurves
It is now possible (and even the default) to only perform the baking

Move the "Show Group Colors" toggle from a per-editor option to a single
user preference in the Animation preferences. The Grease Pencil
animation channel side panel allows picking a channel color; this now
shows a message when channel colors are disabled.
The old "Show Group Colors" toggle had to be set per editor, and was on
by default. This meant that disabling group colors would require an
action for every file, for every editor. It is very hard to select a
color that works both as bone color in the 3D Viewport (needs to be
bright there) as well as the channel list (needs to be dark there), most
animators turn channel list colors off.

This adds a Box option to the Text strip's style properties, plus related Box Margin value:
{F9208309}
When enabled the text is placed on top of a solid-filled rectangle of a chosen color, as shown below:
{F9208324}
When the box option is disabled the text strip works the same as it does now. When the box option is enabled the meaning of the Shadow option changes to provide a drop-shadow on the rectangle (and not on the text itself). The latter made more sense to me.
The box margin is specified as a fraction of the image width. The offset of the drop-down box shadow is fixed to a specific fraction of the image width as well.
I tested this feature on a movie of a couple of minutes containing dozens of text strips (all with box background), edge cases like multi-line strings and text overlapping the image edges.

"Camera Parent Lock" can be useful when rigging cameras, but it is not
intuitive, and has also generated a lot of confusion (bug reports).
This is because it breaks the fundamental parent <-> child relationship
conventions in Blender, and there is no indication that it's intended
without diving into the preferences.
This commit moves the setting to the object level, and exposes it in
the relations panel in the property editor. It is exposed for every
object type because any object type can be "View Locked" in the 3D view.
The property description is also updated to reflect this change and be
more specific without getting too long.
In the future this could become a more general feature of the transform
system, but for now it is limited to "Lock Camera to View".

This patch changes behavior of strip transform and crop feature.
Purpose of this change is to allow display arbitrary portion of input
image, simplify user interface and workflow.
Offset and Crop values in old files are converted in versioning.
Offset animation is also converted. Crop animation and animation of
crop or offset enable properties is not taken into account
Changes in behavior and interface:
- If image is added to timeline it is scaled to fit inside preview area
while maintaining aspect ratio. Image is centered. This is considered
as a baseline for further transformation.
- Scale and rotation was added, so it is possible to transform image at
it's original resolution.
- Crop will not affect image transformation (does not move image).
- Values of Crop and Transform Position are in pixels, these values are
corrected if preview is fraction of project resolution.
- Transform and Mirror panel has been removed and new Transform panel
and Crop panel is moved to Adjust panel. Mirror is now part of new
Transform panel.
Technical changes:
- Preprocessing stage must work on duplicated image, because original is
cached. Previously Crop and Offset could run at once and required only
one duplication of image. This is not the case with new algorithms, so
duplication on demand is implemented. Transformation can read original
image and will output new image that is safe to modify. It should be
possible to add crop step to transform algorithm, so that Crop won't
require previous duplication though.
- Use Crop and Use Translation checkboxes were removed. Individual
values are compared to default values to check if image needs to be
processed. In case of transform this will be done also if resolution of
source.

- Change the labels of the sync enum:
- No Sync → Play Every Frame
- Frame Dropping stays the same
- AV-sync → Sync to Audio

Previously, only predefined and limited set of intrinsics combinations
could have been refined. This was caused by a bundle adjustment library
used in the early days of the solver.
Now it is possible to fully customize which intrinsics are to be refined
during camera solving. Internally solver supports per-parameter settings
but in the interface they are grouped as following:
* Focal length
* Optical center
* Radial distortion coefficients (which includes k1, k2, k3, k4)
* Tangential distortion coefficients (which includes p1, p2)
